lowercase

// "my pOsT tiTLe"

limit

Truncates the string at the specified limit and appends an ending character sequence. If the string is not longer than the limit, the entire string is returned unmodified. The ending character sequence can be passed in as the third argument. (Default: ...)

// "A short string"

str.limit( "A really long sentence that I want to cut off", 20 );

// "A short string"

str.limitWords( "A really long sentence that I want to cut off", 4 );

// "A really long sentence..."

str.limitWords( "A really long sentence that I want to cut off", 4, "---" );
